    Dealing with Disasters from Early Modern to Modern Times : Cultural Responses to Catastrophes (2023)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    ISBN: 9789048557707
    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource
    Keywords: Humanities ; Literature: history & criticism ; Natural disasters
    Abstract: Disasters are as much cultural as natural phenomena. For centuries, news about catastrophic events has been disseminated through media such as chronicles, pamphlets, newspapers, poems, drawings, and prints. Nowadays, we are overwhelmed with news about the cataclysmic effects of recent forest fires, floods, and storms. Due to the ongoing climate crisis, extreme weather events will likely have ever greater impacts on our lives. This volume addresses cultural representations of catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and earthquakes over the centuries. In the past as now, artists and authors try to make sense of disasters, grasp their impact, and communicate moral, religious, or political messages. These creations reflect and shape how people learn and think about disasters that occur nearby or far away, both in time and space. The parallels between past and present underline how this book contributes to modern debates about cultural and creative strategies in response to disasters

    Abstract: This IJERPH special issue on "Health Care from the Patient's Perspective" focuses on the perspective of patients as experts, on their challenges and experiences with health care, embedded in a biopsychosocial framework. In doing so, the special issue offers contributions across the entire health and disease continuum from health promotion to rehabilitation and to the outpatient setting described from different perspectives on disease-related situations such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, or multiple sclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and others, to methodological highlights, with a focus on qualitative, but also participatory research as well as quantitative approaches. Experiential research forms the core of this issue. They will not only provide insights into complex health care situations and ethical issues, but also highlight patient-centered problems as a possible starting point for health system and/or policy improvement. It will also take an interprofessional perspective on patients' care providers, family members, or caregivers. We received 19 impressive and important contributions to healthcare that we encourage you to read

    Fighting Fake Facts (2023)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute | The Hague : OAPEN FOUNDATION
    Details
    ISBN: 9783036513478 , 9783036513485
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (102 p.)
    Keywords: Humanities ; Social interaction ; misinformation ; disinformation ; malinformation ; fake facts ; fake news ; social media ; deepfake technology and recognition
    Abstract: The scientific method, known for its systematic and rigorously approach, has yielded countless discoveries and essential technologies that enhance our lives, fostering ease, productivity, and comfort. Yet, many of these discoveries and technologies have facilitated the dissemination of false and potentially harmful information-the realm of fake facts. The distortion of information, encompassing misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, poses a threat to democratic societies and the core of scientific progress. Consequently, the scientific community must explore why fake news resonates, identify detection strategies, and develop effective countermeasures. The years 2020 and 2021, dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic, underscored the impact of fake news. Conspiracy theories, dangerous pseudo-therapies, and anti-vaccine movements thrived, highlighting the urgency of addressing false information. The collection of articles in this book cover key topics related to fake facts and fake news, aiming to enhance understanding of their impact and to counter them using scientific principles.

    Keywords: Humanities ; Social interaction
    Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary artery disease, heart disease, arrhythmias, and other types of vascular diseases, is one of the leading causes of death around the world. It is estimated that approximately half of the variabilities of CVD appear to be attributed to genetics. Therefore, the other half of them have been attributed to acquired factors, including diet. It is of note that even a genetic predisposition to CVD can be canceled out by a healthy lifestyle. In this regard, it is important to acknowledge that acquired factors, including diet, are causally associated with CVD. Based on these facts, important papers are presented in this Special Issue entitled "The Effect of Diet on Cardiovascular Disease, Heart Disease, and Blood Vessels"

    Keywords: Humanities ; General & world history
    Abstract: Studying change in the course of human history, in different places, through the lens of a diverse set of core themes, World History for International Studies offers readers a set of windows into different debates historians have been conducting. Key themes, such as communication, trade, order, slavery, religion, war, identity, modernity, norms and ecology, are linked to specific world regions, which tell a story about how local ideas and individual contacts developed, started to overlap and became globally understood and used by ever larger groups of people. These themes are brought to life by a diverse set of key primary sources, such as a book, a letter, a medal, a temple and an epic, to showcase how historians have used sources to tell these stories and conduct debates. The book provides an introductory resource into the study of history and includes detailed suggestions for further study

    Water and Sanitation as Human Rights: Have They Strengthened Marginalized Peoples’ Claim for Access? (2022)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute

    ISBN: 9783036553979 , 9783036553986

    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (176 p.)
    Keywords: Humanities ; Social interaction
    Abstract: This book investigates the impact of the United Nations General Assembly's 2010 resolution that elevated rights to water and sanitation are stand-alone international human rights. A major goal of creating this new human right was to incentivize governments to prioritize and pursue policies to improve access to affordable, potable water to the more than 750 million people worldwide who lacked access, as well as to provide the more than 2.5 billion people with inadequate sanitation. The book's chapters use a variety of methodological approaches including qualitative case studies and quantitative studies that draw on data from around the world. The chapters reveal how the global human right to water and sanitation was created, how it has been used in rights struggles around the world, and the extent to which it has improved access to water and sanitation for the world's most marginalized people

    Medieval Communities and the Mad : Narratives of Crime and Mental Illness in Late Medieval France (2020)

    Keywords: Humanities ; European history ; European history
    Abstract: The concept of madness as a challenge to communities lies at the core of legal sources. This book considers how communal networks, ranging from the locale to the realm, responded to people who were considered mad. The madness of individuals played a role in engaging communities with legal mechanisms and proto-national identity constructs, as petitioners sought the king's mercy as an alternative to local justice. The resulting narratives about the mentally ill in late medieval France constructed madness as an inability to live according to communal rules. Although such texts defined madness through acts that threatened social bonds, those ties were reaffirmed through the medium of the remission letter. The composers of the letters presented madness as a communal concern, situating the mad within the household, where care could be provided. These mad were usually not expelled but integrated, often through pilgrimage, surveillance, or chains, into their kin and communal relationships

    History of Concepts : Comparative Perspectives (1998)

    Language: Undetermined
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource
    Keywords: Humanities ; Philosophy ; Ethnic studies
    Abstract: Although vastly influential in German-speaking Europe, conceptual history (Begriffsgeschichte) has until now received little attention in English. This genre of intellectual history differs from both the French history of mentalités and the Anglophone history of discourses by positing the concept - the key occupier of significant syntactical space - as the object of historical investigation. Contributions by distinguished practitioners and critics of conceptual history from Europe and America illustrate both the distinctiveness and diversity of the genre. The first part of the book is devoted to the origins and identity of the field, as well as methodological issues. Part two presents exemplary studies focusing either on a particular concept (such as Maurizio Viroli's 'Reason of the State') or a particular approach to conceptual history (e.g. Bernard Scholz for literary criticism and Terence Ball for political science). The final, most innovative section of the book looks at concepts and art - high, bourgeois and demotic. Here Bram Kempers discusses the conceptual history of Raphael's frescos in the Stanza della Segnatura of the Vatican; Eddy de Jongh examines the linguistic character of much Dutch genre painting; and Rolf Reichardt considers the conceptual structure implicit in card games of the French Revolution, used to induct those on the margins of literacy into the new revolutionary world-view.

    Series Statement: Film Culture in Transition
    Keywords: Humanities ; Film, TV & radio ; Ethnic studies
    Abstract: Rainer Werner Fassbinder is one of the most prominent and important authors of post-war European cinema. Thomas Elsaesser is the first to write a thoroughly analytical study of his work. He stresses the importance of a closer understanding of Fassbinder's career through a re-reading of his films as textual entities. Approaching the work from different thematic and analytical perspectives, Elsaesser offers both an overview and a number of detailed readings of crucial films, while also providing a European context for Fassbinder's own coming to terms with fascism.
